Second chance for Josh Sargent? Premier League transfer plan for USMNT star as Leeds line up move after previous Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson & Weston McKennie deals

The United States international had been hoping to fire current employers Norwich back to the big time. They have, however, suffered Championship play-off semi-final heartache against Leeds – with the Whites set to face Southampton at Wembley Stadium on May 26 in what has become the richest game in club football.

Sargent may have struggled to make that occasion even if Norwich had made it, as he is nursing another injury. The 24-year-old striker is, however, seeing a move to the Premier League speculated on regardless. He registered just two goals for the Canaries during 26 appearances at that level in 2021-22.

He found the target on 16 occasions through the same number of outings this season, with that impressive return seeing his stock soar. Sargent is sweating on his involvement at this summer’s Copa America, which will take place in his homeland, but he could figure prominently in the next transfer window.

According to the Sunday Mirror, Leeds – who have previously acquired Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson and Weston McKennie - are mulling over a move for Sargent if they win promotion as more firepower will be required at Elland Road. Bournemouth, Brentford and Fulham are also being credited with interest, while Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen would welcome the opportunity to bring him back onto their books.
